Better Advancements in All the Mods 10

Better Advancements is a client-side-feeling interface upgrade for Minecraft's advancements screen. It is the successor to BetterAchievements, and it aims to improve the look and feel of advancements in a modded environment, where you can end up with a lot of advancement tabs.^[1]

Its scope is cosmetic and quality of life. It doesn't add items, blocks or progression of its own, so it is for anyone who opens the advancements screen and wants it to be easier to read and browse.^[1]

What it changes

• A screen-filling advancements UI instead of the small default window.^[1]
• The option to change the color of advancement icons instead of the default gray, blue and orange.^[1]
• A setting to stop the advancements background from fading on hover.^[1]
• Description boxes that can grow slightly larger, so they are easier to read.^[1]
• The tab title added to the title of the advancements UI.^[1]

Version in this pack

The pack ships Better Advancements 0.4.3.21, the NeoForge build for Minecraft 1.21.1. It has been included since version 2.25 of the pack or earlier.^[2]

Where it fits in progression

Because the mod is purely a UI and quality-of-life tweak, there is nothing to unlock or craft. You can open the advancements screen at any point in your run and get the improved layout straight away.^[1]

Unverified The sources don't say whether this pack changes any of the mod's default settings, so check the in-game options before assuming the defaults for icon colors or hover fading.

Good news: Better Advancements doesn't ask you to craft anything or hunt for a special item. It's a cosmetic and quality-of-life mod that improves the advancements screen, so your first steps are just about opening that screen and seeing what's different.^[1]

What changes when you open the advancements screen

• The advancements UI fills the whole screen instead of the tiny default window.^[1]
• You can change the color of the advancement icons, instead of the default gray, blue and orange.^[1]
• There's a setting to stop the advancements background from fading when you hover over it.^[1]
• Description boxes can grow slightly larger, so they're easier to read.^[1]
• The title of the current tab is added to the title of the advancements UI.^[1]

That's the mod's whole scope. It tidies up how advancements look and read, and it doesn't add gameplay content of its own.^[1]

Unverified I found no recipes, quests or in-game tooltips tied to Better Advancements in this pack, so there's no crafting order to follow and no recipe block for this section. This site does hold All the Mods 10's own recipes, read from the pack itself: look the item up in the item browser.

Better Advancements has no machines, multiblocks, power, fluids or item automation to learn. According to its project page, its scope is cosmetic and Quality of Life: it improves the UI and UX of the advancements screen in a modded environment. So the mechanics here are all about how that screen looks and behaves.^[1]

Unverified Where the icon color and hover-fade settings live in this pack, and what their default values are, could not be confirmed. No config files, in-game descriptions or guidebook for this mod were available, and no recipes produce this mod's items.

All the Mods 10 8.1 ships Better Advancements 0.4.3.21, the NeoForge build for Minecraft 1.21.1. The mod was first included in All the Mods 10 0.32 or earlier, so it has been in the pack for a long time.^[2]

Mod changelog highlights

The mod's own changelogs for these releases are short, with one commit each. Here they are, newest first:^[3][4][5]

• 0.4.3.21: the mod now creates its config file for Fabric if it doesn't exist. This is the version in the pack, but the fix is for Fabric. The pack uses the NeoForge build, so it doesn't change anything for you here.^[2][3]
• 0.4.2.19: the mod was updated to 1.21.1.^[4]
• 0.4.2.16: a build fix that makes sure a mapping exists before the build runs. It is a developer-side change and doesn't alter how the mod plays.^[5]

Unverified No pack changelog entries for this mod were available, so what changed for it between individual All the Mods 10 releases is unverified.
